For random combinatorial optimization problems, there has been much progress in establishing laws of large numbers and computing limiting constants for the optimal value of various problems. However, there has not been as much success in…

In this paper, we construct a moment inequality for mixing dependent random variables, it is of independent interest. As applications, the consistency of the kernel density estimation is investigated. Several limit theorems are established:…

Given a positive integer $n$, consider a random permutation $\tau$ of the set $\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$. In $\tau$, we look for sequences of consecutive integers that appear in adjacent positions: a maximal such a sequence is called a block. Each…

In this article we focus on a general model of random walk on random marked trees. We prove a recurrence criterion, analogue to the recurrence criterion proved by R. Lyons and Robin Pemantle (1992) in a slightly different model. In the…

We obtain a functional central limit theorem (CLT) for sums of the form $\xi_N(t)=\frac1{\sqrt N}\sum_{n=1}^{[Nt]}\big(F(X(q_1(n)),...,X(q_\ell(n)))-\bar F\big)$ where $q_1,...,q_\ell$ are polynomials.

We study independent and identically distributed random iterations of continuous maps defined on a connected closed subset $S$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{k}$. We assume the maps are monotone (with respect to a suitable partial…

Let $\nu\in M^1([0,\infty[)$ be a fixed probability measure. For each dimension $p\in\b N$, let $(X_n^p)_{n\ge1}$ be i.i.d. $\b R^p$-valued radial random variables with radial distribution $\nu$. We derive two central limit theorems for $…

The Central Limit Theorem states that, in the limit of a large number of terms, an appropriately scaled sum of independent random variables yields another random variable whose probability distribution tends to a stable distribution. The…

In this paper, we develop necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of a martingale approximation for the partial sums of a stationary process in terms of the maximum of consecutive errors. Such an approximation is useful for…

Let $(X_{n,i})_{1\le i\le n,n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a triangular array of row-wise stationary $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued random variables. We use a "blocks method" to define clusters of extreme values: the rows of $(X_{n,i})$ are divided into $m_n$…

The Ewens-Pitman model defines a distribution on random partitions of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, with parameters $\alpha \in [0,1)$ and $\theta > -\alpha$; the case $\alpha=0$ reduces to the classical Ewens model from population genetics. We…

We consider the spectral properties of a class of regularized estimators of (large) empirical covariance matrices corresponding to stationary (but not necessarily Gaussian) sequences, obtained by banding. We prove a law of large numbers…
